This funding opportunity supports research on how social media affects the mental health of teens (ages 10–20) and how their mental health may influence social media use. Social media includes apps and online platforms where people share or view information and interact with others. The goal is to understand these two-way connections and how they may create risks or protect against mental health problems. Studies testing whether interventions “work” are not accepted—only research exploring the relationships between social media use and adolescent mental health is eligible.
